老員工阿傑與阿南在店裡工作30年了,被其他年輕員工嫌棄,兩人邊工作邊調情,友誼中有曖昧,彼此商量是不是該退休做點什麼不一樣的事,但是阿傑不知該如何跟妻子開口,而阿南老是搞不定他那總是闖禍的兒子Pat

Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction, this is the sharply comic debut about the tangled lives of people working, fighting and falling in love in a neighbourhood Chinese restaurant.

Mixing business and family is a recipe for disaster.

The popular Beijing Duck House in Rockville, Maryland has been serving devoted regulars for decades. Yet behind the staff's professional smiles simmer tensions, heartaches and grudges from years of bustling restaurant life.

When disaster strikes, two of the younger generation find themselves in a dangerous game that means tragedy for the Duck House. And soon, their families are forced to finally confront the conflicts and loyalties playing out beneath the red and gold lanterns.
